that is not the way to look for help in all law. -- in the law. you have to be fair -- for the things against and for you. a good judge looks for both sides and looks for evidence both ways. where i found it somewhat useful, for example, is that we had a rather difficult case about whether a person can get asylum if he has killed another person in that other country, say somalia. his reason, though, is that they were threatening to kill his own child if he did not do it. a horrible situation. he says he is under arrest -- duress. he should still be eligible for asylum, even though he committed a terrible crime. do you get the point? is there a defense or is there not a defense of the arrest -- the rest -- doris -- duress? if you found mixed answers, they are not helpful. if you found them all the other way, they cut the other way. or, for example, we had an opinion which says that if congress says that a state sheriff's office must gather information about gun buyers adn nd send it to the fbi, question -- does congress have the power in our federa
